Meanwhile, MY predictions! The way I see it, all but two of the nations sending full teams to this meet are also looking forward to other meets (notably the Commonwealth Games or Asian Games), so I am assuming the United States and Brazil will be the most prepared to swim fast in Irvine. I have Elizabeth Beisel taking wins in both the 400 IM and 200 back, with her teammate Liz Pelton rebounding from a disappointing U.S. Nationals with two podiums. I have Nick Thoman taking the men's 100 back and Eric Shanteau the men's 200 breast. I have Felipe Silva taking the men's 50 breast, with Mark Gangloff taking second, as well as third in the 100 breast. One of my personal favorite picks is Graeme Moore slipping into third in the men's 50 fly. Enjoy!
